Extraordinary

Mckenna had a bike a thon at school today. The kids were to ride laps on a 1 mile course. Ayden Jane wanted to do it too. I brought her bike, and figured she would ride a bit and then declare herself done. So off we went on the big loop. She pedaled that little bike the ENTIRE loop. Yep, she biked the full mile. There was no stopping her. She pedaled and honked her little horn. Lots of the kids knew her and cheered her on as we went. So awesome.

After we came home we were sitting around waiting for everyone to get ready for supper. Ayden Jane was running around, singing and just being excited and goofy. Then she managed to flip over backwards off a footstool she was sitting on. We saw it. Well, we saw her feet go up and we heard her head hit the wood. She cried a bit but not a for long. I asked her to come over to me so I could see her head and make sure she was okay. She walked over and I noticed a little trail of blood under her chin. I started to look for the source and realized it was also under her right ear. Oh wait, it is coming down from her hair... Wow, there is a LOT of blood.

Turns out she hit the top of her head on the corner of the hearth... Ayden Jane just stood there as Kayla was wiping blood off her. No problem with all the bloody paper towels. She chatted with Gary who had the soaked through paper towel on the top of her head. Gary got the bleeding stopped and we skipped the ER... this time.

Oh, and dinner was great.
